Re: Starter won't crank

Hi Jason,

I had preformed a bench test with no luck. The only thing I could get out of my starter was a buzzing sound coming from the solenoid. No rotation from the armature or any signs it even wanted to turn. The current read from the battery was 6.43v and dropped to 2.92v when I attempted to crank it. As far as the test you said I should preform, does it matter where I ground the armature i.e. the front where it rides in the bushing or back towards the bendix?

-Thank you,
Garrett
